<p>Gareth Porter says the Russians provided 24 hour advanced warning of a strike on a munitions warehouse in Khan Shaykhun to the U.S. military through the established coordination channel. This communication included Syria&#39;s belief that the warehouse contained toxic chemicals. The full article is at the truth-out.org website. This is the kind of thing the Russians should put out there with documentation.</p>

The administration&#39;s comment of chemical experts is meant to scare us but merely achieves the opposite. For the comment to be taken seriously, it means that the admin is saying that it knows who is who in Syria. IE Col. Ahmed is CW, they know where he works, they know the structure of his command, and they have known since he took the job. All Syrian comm related to Col. Ahmed is automatically filtered and flagged. This means that we knew of Syrian plan before it happened. We didn&#39;t, there is no Col Ahmed, there is no sarin. Or do you want to believe our govt. did nothing to prevent the attack? Your choice: this administration is lying to you or this administration is complicit in the attack.</p>mikey commented on 'The White House Report - TTG'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c72e153ef01bb09909d75970d2017-04-14T18:01:01Z2017-04-14T18:01:01ZmikeyI made my previous comment concerning the method of delivery because I'm skeptical that this crater and its contents are...<p>I made my previous comment concerning the method of delivery because I&#39;m skeptical that this crater and its contents are related to the alleged chemical attack.</p>Valissa commented on 'The White House Report - TTG'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c72e153ef01bb09908a35970d2017-04-14T14:25:36Z2017-04-14T14:25:36ZValissaI have said this numerous times at this blog...

<p>Water for such things needs to be clean kept, and for that chlorine is used a lot. Sometimes when they used it there was the smell of chlorine in the air. The scent is unforgetable. Reminded me of my army time and the stuff I learned there about C stuff.</p>
<p>In the Reha, there was a storage room in the cellar where they held the substance, and at its door they had a gas mask holder for a mask that provided filter and full eye protection (chlorine would vitriolize eyes, harming eye sight - blind you wouldn&#39;t find your way to flee).</p>
<p>It always felt creepy when going along that door and I always was happy to get out of that cellar.</p>
<p>That written, from what I read, stuff like chlorine was apparently used by ISIS and/or Al Quaeda folks repeatedly in Iraq (emphasis mine).</p>
<p>&quot;Iraqi officials have shown the BBC footage, which they say proves Islamic State militants are using chlorine gas in roadside bomb attacks.<br />
...<br />
The bombs contain small concentrations of a chemical agent and in open ground are unlikely to be lethal.</p>
<p>Experts say they are designed to create fear rather than harm.</p>
<p><b>There have been multiple reports that IS has been deploying chlorine gas since late last year, but Iraqi officials say their footage confirms its use</b>.</p>
<p>Haider Taher, from the Iraq Bomb Disposal Team, said troops have defused dozens of devices containing chlorine as part of the offensive against the militants.</p>
<p>&quot;They have resorted to this new method,&quot; he told the BBC...&quot;</p>

<p>That much for the view that any use of gas clearly implicates the guilt of Assad.</p>Marko commented on 'The White House Report - TTG'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c72e153ef01b7c8ed5beb970b2017-04-14T08:12:13Z2017-04-14T08:12:13ZMarko"We believe it is highly likely that the attack was carried out by the Assad regime," British Prime Minister Theresa...<p>&quot;We believe it is highly likely that the attack was carried out by the Assad regime,&quot; British Prime Minister Theresa May said in a televised statement. &quot;Apart from anything else, we believe it&#39;s only the regime that has the capability to make such an attack.&quot;</p>

Maybe Mattis / Tillerson have <i>&#39;no doubt&#39;</i> because of the video with the White Helmets spraying water on the survivors. Why people look at the same thing and come to different conclusions, is someone lying?</p>
<p>Our government has lied about SIGINT before. Ronald Reagan, who I trust more than DT on his best day, had the intercepted radio communication between the Russian Jet that shot down KAL-007 and the air traffic controller edited down to make it look like it was intentional when it was clearly a mistake. The pilot tried to warn what he thought was a spy plane to land but Reagan played the bad version before the U.N. to make them look like monsters. Sounds familiar.<br />

Men like him, will do anything and pay any price for their ego, survival and specially to win no matter what. As I wrote, IMO Mr. Trump was given an offer by Borg he understood he could not refuse, he thinks he can survive his job, reversing himself and folding to Borg’ demands. IMO, Borg operates much like mafia (like losing credit with Banks), they will never trust him again, for what he said and did to their choice candidate, they are probably right, knowing he has no loyalty to anyone except himself. <br />
